1. A House Truck
“House truck at the tui community” is sadly all the information we get on this awesome old automobile, found on Flickr. UPDATE! Thanks to the awesome power of the internet, our article was brought to the attention of a certain Anna Lakeman, from the rural Tui commune in New Zealand. She writes in the comments: “The house truck is well known to me. It is the first home I had at Tui Community, and it’s still there! My daughter was conceived in that Truck, and my ex-partner lived in it for years.”

Each envelope (mailed inside another envelope for protection) will be unique to however he’s decided to arrange your name and address. You can purchase your envelope artwork now on DoNotOpen.it and you know, proudly frame it somewhere.
3. Fake Street, China
A row of knockoff stores have popped up at a new shopping street in Wuxi, Jiangsu Province.
Developers of the Shimao Skyscrape complex have filled the first floor of the building with businesses that use logos and names similar to those of well-known brands, reported Chinese-language China News Service.
The street features copycat logos of brands like Starbucks, Hugo Boss, H&M, Zara, and not even China’s biggest bank, Industrial & Commercial Bank of China (ICBC), has been left untouched by the counterfeiters.
Similar incidents have happened in China before. Those responsible have claimed that the copycat businesses are used as “marketing tools” to attract more investors.
